Do you pant for liberty and equality, more substantial than such as is now found only in your obliterated and tattered bills of right?
Do you ask that your children may be rescued from the ignorance and irreligion to which they are now doomed, and that avenues may be opened for you and for them to honest and profitable employment?
Now is the time, fellow-citizens, to assail the foe.
Out of the slave region, patriots and philanthropists, and Christians of every name and sect abhor and execrate it.
